[PATCH] s390: show_task oops
The show_task function walks the kernel stack backchain of processes assuming that the processes are not running. Since this assumption is not correct walking the backchain can lead to an addressing exception and therefore to a kernel hang. So prevent the kernel hang (you still get incorrect results) verity that all read accesses are within the bounds of the kernel stack before performing them.
